OK, it’s Sunday night here in rural Douglas County. The Chiefs lost to the Patriots on Sunday night football 43-40. Can’t do a whole lot about that, but the Chiefs played well. Almost have to give the credit to the NFL rules committee for that one. It’s been raining here pretty much all day. Got …

It’s Saturday night, a quarter to 10, and I’m just kicking back watching some football while my bride of 22 years sleeps in the recliner to my left. I love hearing the steady breathing from her as she sleeps… but when her breathing is not so steady, I worry as any husband would. It’s been a …

Friday night, the beginning of a short fall break for Lisa and the kids. The pooches are happy to have people around. Tonight was Senior Night for the marching band over at Dane’s high school. It was nice for the kids to get some recognition. Some of the kids have grown very attached to that …

Wednesday night in the county. The rain has been a little intermittent today. I’m just cranking out a couple hundred words to meet my obligation to myself. I’m not always inspired to write. I’ve written that before. I made an appointment to get the remains of my molar ripped out of my head. The remaining …

Hello, readers and future family members that I hope to meet before I leave this mortal coil. It’s been raining. For about two days straight. Ten to fifteen inches of rain. It’s creating some problems. I’m currently watching a news program revisiting the communication that took place prior to the election of 2016 between a …

Monday night in rural Douglas County, and the rain has dropped off to a very light drizzle for now, but man, oh, man, did we have a wet day today. It was coming down a bit as I went in to work, and this after it had already rained most of the night. It was …

It’s Sunday night, and I’m trying to get a few things organized in preparation for my return to the classroom tomorrow. The Chiefs beat the Jacksonville Jaguars with a very strong offensive performance, and the defensive took the ball away from them more than they took it away from us, so that became the real …

A rainy Saturday night in rural Douglas County. As one might expect, the Jayhawks lost in the road to the #9 West Virginia Mountaineers… but for three quarters of play, the Jayhawks gave ’em a hell of a game. I doubt the WV fans would argue that point. On the other side of things, the …

It’s a Friday night in rural Douglas County. Looks like it’ll be a good weekend to stay indoors, with lots of rain in the forecast. I finished up my class today, still need to go through my notes to update them and get copies sent out to the students. Need to do that for another …
